Money in shoe-heel: anti-semitic article, 1941

'Gold in the Ghetto' (Gold im Ghetto): Anti-Jewish propaganda, 1941, from German newspaper. Photo from Lodz Ghetto. Security Police interrogate a man about the jewellery and money found in the heel of his shoe. Caption reads: 'He attracted attention because he never had worn-down heels: The dollar bills and gold will get better interest rates now; but not the old cutthroat!' ('Er fiel auf, weil er nie schiefe Absätze trug: Die Dollarscheine und das Gold werden jetzt bessere Zinsen bringen; aber nicht dem alten Halsabschneider!') Taken from JB Illustrierter Beobachter, Issue 8, Thursday 20 February 1941, p.223.
